Major Clarity helps students discover their future careers – and the paths to make them a reality.

Students may access Major Clarity through the Clever Portal, or through the Academic & Career Planning folder in the ClassLink LaunchPad.

PSAT/SAT/AP Testing Accommodations

If you have a current Section 504 Plan or IEP, you may be eligible for accommodations on AP exams and/or PSAT and SAT exams. All accommodations must be approved by the College Board's Services for Students with Disabilities (SSD). To request accommodations please contact Shawniquea Rozier in Guidance at 648-5512 or go to www.collegeboard.org for more information. If you have previously been approved by the College Board for testing accommodations (for example, when you took the AP, PSAT/NMSQT® or SAT®), you do not need to submit a new request. The deadline to request accommodations for the PSAT and SAT is 6 weeks prior to your test date.

Note: Schools cannot provide testing accommodations for students with disabilities unless the accommodations have been approved by College Board.
